All These Things - Jon Griebel

Описание: In this sermon, the speaker reflects on the unrest in the world, especially the conflict in the Middle East, and connects those events with Jesus’ warnings in Matthew 24, along with passages from Daniel 11–12 and Luke 21. The main burden of the message is not just that troubling events are happening, but that believers must be careful not to be led astray. The speaker emphasizes that deception often comes through religious and political voices that claim to act in God’s name while pulling people away from the spirit of the gospel. Rather than becoming consumed with sensational ideas, fear, or partisan thinking, Christians are called to stay centered on Jesus, His mercy, and His truth.

A major theme of the sermon is that the real issue in the last days is a drifting away from the gospel of love, humility, forgiveness, and kindness. The speaker explains that when lawlessness increases, love grows cold, and that this can be seen in the spirit of division, hatred, quarrels, and pride in the world today. He describes the “holy place” not merely as a prophetic symbol, but as the place of abiding in Christ, resting in His sacrifice, and living in the reality that God dwells in His people. The warning is clear: do not let current events, politics, or fear pull your heart away from the character of Jesus.

The sermon ends on a hopeful and pastoral note. Even though the speaker believes the world is moving into a time of deeper trouble, he points again and again to Christ as the believer’s protector, intercessor, King, and deliverer. He presents Michael in Daniel 12 as One who rises to defend His people, not to leave them in fear. The call to the church is to remain rooted in grace, to avoid speaking evil, to show gentleness and courtesy to all, and to keep faith and love alive while the world grows darker. The blessed hope held before the congregation is the visible return of Jesus, the resurrection of the faithful, and the gathering of God’s people into eternal life.
